Are these the same as these cuties? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2133886/Still-wild-The-cheetah-labrador-raised-cub-puppy-remain-best-friends-year-on.html
These photos put into perspective that cheetahs really aren't that big, way smaller than actual big cats.
Cheetah are more closely related to domestic cats than to big cats like lion, tiger, leopard... Also cheetah do not roar, they meow and chirp
My city's zoo currently has cheetah cubs and a few weeks ago I was able to observe live how one of them chirped. Usually they're quiet, but it's really cute when they do make sounds.
Yeah, i have only heard them on the internet and one of them has the same meow as one of my cats they are so cute
